Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Ipanema Queen is our selection for this 5f contest at Dundalk (AW), preferred to the pack for her progressive profile even though she sits third on our figures behind joint-leaders Valiant Force and Howd'yadoit. Both those horses head the figures and stand as the biggest dangers, with Kerdos also right in the mix just below them. It's a tightly stacked ten-runner field and our confidence here is only medium, but Ipanema Queen's rounder profile gives her the nod over the top two.

Racing Post pick: Ipanema Queen
